I did not check sources of flopswap for a long time but I am sure sixwheeler does swap on/swap off. And this will copy whole content of used memory from old to new swap. [sixwheeledbeast to confirm]
So new swap will have used already immediately after swap current amount of used swap memory memory! That is reason why I use 1,5G for my swap sizes, to increase the time between swap refreshs.

But just now thinking of using bb-power 'swapon -p': if I select for new swap always a higher priority it ..... will not work as after second refresh the swaps are not defragmented anymore
